    Perhaps you should explain where you came to the conclusion that schools could be forced to order this, because that is somewhat absurd. Not forced in the sense of political ...

    Literature is a form of art, but can't art be intense for some people? Would you, for example, bring a young child to an art showing where the picture are ...
